Senior Nights are filled with immeasurable smiles and sometimes tears. Adreian Payne’s friendship with Lacey Holsworth will do the latter to anyone.

Holsworth, who has a form of childhood cancer called neuroblastoma, has been battling the disease for over two years. Holsworth was paid a hospital visit by members of the Michigan State basketball team, including Payne, and little Lacey was drawn to Payne because of his smile. The two have been close friends ever since. And that included being part of Payne’s Senior Night.

You can watch the clip of the entire pregame ceremony with Payne and Holsworth here. Incredibly special.

All the best, Lacey. If you haven't seen the full story told by the Big Ten Network last year, take a peek.
